Go for a TANKLESS water heater. They are small, VERY energy efficient, have NO element to worry about, and make TONS of hot water on demand. They are just this little box that attaches to the wall. I don’t think they cost any more than the regular heaters and cost WAY LESS to install AND they are eligable for a big tax credit (around $200-300).

Vince will probably love it, very tech-y.

As soon as I started reading your post my first thought was…go for gas and get a gas hot water heater…but you beat me to the punch…we’ll just have to wear Vince down…

Our element thingie has gone before and we need another new one right now. I want to get one of those tankless water heaters. And yes, we have a gas water heater, furnace, dryer and fireplace but not a stove. I just had the drywall done in the room under the kitchen when we needed new appliances and I wasn’t ready to have it torn up so soon to run the line in to the kitchen. When I remodel the kitchen I’m getting a gas stove.

If it’s enough to send you to the mall it must be baaaadddd. I really can’t blame Vince for not wanting to pay a plumber, and I can’t imagine what one would charge on the weekend. EVERY time we have had a plumbing problem it’s either been at night, on the weekend or on a holiday…..go figure!!

one thing is for sure–Vince will get a lot of practice on how to change out the elements. maybe you should make a video of him doing this for posterity, and to pass down to the new homeowners when you move?
